A Bradenton couple is arrested after witnesses reported the incident on Bradenton Beach.

STAFF REPORT

A Bradenton couple were arrested after they began to have sex on Bradenton Beach on Sunday morning in front of a 4-year-old and a witness who recorded the whole romp on video.

The Bradenton Beach Police Department said a distressed mother called 911 after she allegedly saw Elissa Alvarez, 20, and Jose Caballero, 39, both of Bradenton, fondle each other and begin to have sex on the public beach access just south of the Cortez Road West and Gulf Drive South intersection.

The mother was especially upset because her 4-year-old daughter and several other people saw the couple having sex in the sand, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Six other witnesses filled out complaint affidavits, one of whom filmed the couple with a camera phone, which will be used as evidence.

Both Alvarez and Caballero were taken to the Bradenton Beach Police Department for paperwork and then transported to the Manatee County Central Jail. Both were charged with lewd or lascivious exhibition.

Alvarez and Caballero were both released Monday after each posting a $7,500 bond.

Caballero has a criminal history dating back to 1992, which includes charges of trafficking cocaine, driving under the influence and selling marijuana.
